Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 originates from Napa Valley, California, crafted by the esteemed Bryant Family Winery. This wine is a blend of grapes sourced from the estate`s vineyard, known for its well-drained volcanic soil. The 2009 vintage offers a structured palate with pronounced tannins and acidity. Notes of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle oak are discernible. Bryant Family Winery, established in 1992, is notable for producing limited quantities, focusing on quality and the unique characteristics of each vintage.

Good dark red. Expressive, complex scents of plum, black raspberry, cedar, tobacco leaf, mocha and minerals. Fine-grained and energetic on the palate, with its sweet plum and mocha flavors lifted by a floral element. There's something Pomerol-like about this wine, which is about much more than simply primary fruit and displays more energy than either the '08 or '07 Bryant bottlings. A youthful yet already impeccably balanced wine with great class and finesse, this beauty finishes with utterly seamless, noble tannins. Stephen Tanzer1st July 2019
